Age-Related Differences in Bimanual Isometric Force Tracking by Elisa Galofaro, Nicola Vale, Giulia Ballardini, Nicola Smania, Maura Casadio

“…Notably, the percentage of total force exerted by the left hand was negatively correlated with the disparity between the left and right coefficients of variation. This study confirms previous findings on the effect of aging on bimanual force control and provides evidence suggesting that the contribution of each hand may depend on the variability in force exertion.…”

The potential habitat of Phlomoides rotata in Tibet was based on an optimized MaxEnt model by Jun-Wei Wang, Jun-Wei Wang, Min Xu, Norbu Ngawang, Yonghao Chen, Ngawang Bonjor, Xiaoyan Jia, Zhefei Zeng, Zhefei Zeng, La Qiong, La Qiong

“…IntroductionPhlomoides rotata, an important Tibetan medicinal plant, has garnered significant attention due to its remarkable medicinal value and ecological functions. However, overharvesting and climate change have progressively reduced its distribution range, threatening its survival.MethodsThis study employed an optimized MaxEnt model, integrating field survey data and multiple environmental variables, to predict and analyze the potential suitable distribution of P. rotata in Tibet.ResultsThe model achieved high predictive accuracy, with Ture skill statistic (TSS) = 0.87 and Cohen’s Kappa Coefficient (Kappa) = 0.81. …”
